TVNZ has secured the exclusive rights to the FIFA World Cup 2026, with free-to-air and paid options available through TV1 and TVNZ+. The competition will be hosted in the US, Canada and Mexico, and will see 48 teams playing 104 matches in just over a month. The All Whites will be competing again for the first time since 2010.

NZME is partnering up with ANZ again to run the Donation Station for Daffodil Day this Friday. The award-winning fundraising campaign includes a range of activations across the NZME radio stations from 7am to 6pm.

The Southerly has announced a new campaign for its whisky-infused mānuka honey via culinary delights, created by the country's top chefs. Billboards run dynamically to promote the dishes and drinks, plus also to drive capacity in the restaurants in real-time.

Finally, the Department of Conservation has named One New Zealand as a national conservation partner. DOC says the partnership will help them modernise the way they work and make the most of new technology, allowing staff to do even more for nature.
